‘Resident Evil: Revelations’ Will Introduce New Enemies, Playable Rachel, Wii U Off-Screen Play
Capcom is doing a fine job making Resident Evil: Revelations for consoles enticing even if you already own it for the Nintendo 3DS. The upcoming high definition port will bring with it two new monsters, a playable Rachel in the cooperative Raid Mode, and Wii U-specific features. Only one of the two new monsters that are coming to the console and PC versions has been announced, and it’s called the Wall Blister. Yuck. If you’re planning on getting it on the Wii U, it will come with off-screen play, which means you can play it in another room while someone else uses the TV, and it will also make use of the console’s social network. See all that and more in the pretty substantial batch of new screenshots I have waiting for you after the jump.
In related news, Hunk and Rachel will both be playable at PAX East this weekend, alongside upcoming survival horror games Daylight and Outlast.
Resident Evil: Revelations comes to the PS3, Xbox 360, PC and Wii U on May 21.

We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
